\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/b><\/span> Colorado Adopts Mandatory Vaccinations
\nfor Children<\/h1>\n

by Renee Parsons<\/p>\n

Since the arrival of the coronavirus, the use of and familiarity with v<\/span>accines\u00a0 <\/span>has dramatically increased prompting a more aware and questioning public.\u00a0 <\/span>With little more than a 48-hour public notice,\u00a0<\/span>many Coloradans were enjoying a brilliant Sunday afternoon as the State Senate Health and Insurance Committee was squirreled away in the\u00a0 <\/span>confines of the State Capitol to approve the School Entry Immunization Act, also known as SB 20-163.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While a Sunday afternoon may not seem an appropriate time for a legislative body to accept witness testimony or to conduct its legislative business, unless there is a clear intent to limit public participation.\u00a0 <\/span>That kind of strategy has a way of boomeranging with a loss of public trust and confidence; yet the Democrats had an intense legislative urge to codify SB 163 with as little public input as possible.\u00a0 <\/span>The Dems control both Houses of the General Assembly as well as the Governor\u2019s mansion thereby controlling the\u00a0 <\/span>State\u2019s entire legislative<\/a>\u00a0agenda.<\/p>\n

What the Democrats were not counting on was Robert F. Kennedy, Jr<\/a>., on his way to becoming a national icon, who\u00a0 <\/span>arrived to testify against SB 136.\u00a0 <\/span>He was allotted two minutes to address the committee.\u00a0 <\/span>What else the Dems were not counting on was a last-minute rally attended by 3,000 outside the Capitol\u00a0 <\/span>that Sunday afternoon. Kennedy quoted one of the Democratic members of the Committee who told the media:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIf we can\u2019t get a vaccination bill passed during a pandemic, then we\u2019ll never get it passed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Speaking to the throng, Kennedy went on to call out the Democrats:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI am a lifelong Democrat …what they are doing here today is antithetical to every value that the Democratic Party has expressed in its 200-year history.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Adoption of SB 163 was accomplished on a party-line vote; beginning with\u00a0 <\/span>Committee approval and through the Senate and House votes to adoption.\u00a0 <\/span>During House consideration, a bipartisan amendment was added to allow for a voter referendum in the 2022 election, but the majority on the Conference Committee removed that language.<\/p>\n

In addition, much of the state\u2019s MSM provided minimal reporting on the Dems slipping SB 163 through on a Sunday afternoon, Kennedy\u2019s appearance before the Committee or the size of the last minute rally.<\/p>\n

As its name implies, SB 163 mandates \u201cimmunizations\u201c for all children entering Colorado public schools thereby taking the decision out of the parent\u2019s hands and requiring a doctor to certify approval.\u00a0 <\/span>The fact that the bill contains elements akin to Orwell\u2019s 1984 Big Brother regime is quite disturbing.<\/p>\n

SB 163\u00a0 <\/span>requires the State\u2019s educational system to aid and abet in the monitoring of its students as it requires each public school to accept proof of immunization as well as each\u00a0 <\/span>exemption request that is filed. \u00a0Each school must also establish a tracking system and provide an annual report on that school\u2019s\u00a0 <\/span>rate of immunizations and the number of exemptions issued.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Such bureaucratese indicates, rather than a parental responsibility, \u00a0 <\/span>each child\u2019s vaccination will be tracked by the school district throughout that child\u2019s history as a student.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Of special interest, SB 163 indicates there is an onerous\u00a0 <\/span>“submission process\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>for those wishing to claim a nonmedical exemption such as a \u201creligious belief whose teachings are opposed to immunizations or a personal belief opposed to immunizations.<\/i>\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>Those individuals must submit a \u201ccertificate\u201d that their chosen religion has adopted a policy regarding vaccinations and a certificate that they have completed an online \u201ceducational module\u201c which can expect to be little more than a one-sided harangue on the virtues of vaccinations.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As adopted, SB 163 is compatible with another totalitarian-oriented legislation introduced by Congressional Democrats as HR 6666, the Trace Act (Testing, Reaching and Contacting Everyone).\u00a0 <\/span>The TRACE Act will establish a nationwide vaccine monitoring system with a force of vaccine-tracking agent.<\/p>\n

It is essential for the American people to understand, as the national debate begins, that the objection to mandatory vaccinations is based on the science of injecting a potentially toxic substance into the human body.<\/p>\n

While the goal of any vaccine is to stimulate the production of antibodies to prevent illness and provide immunity, there is a widespread belief, encouraged by the CDC, that vaccines are a form of medicine and contains medicinal properties \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The CDC<\/a>, however,\u00a0 <\/span>confirms that \u201csome vaccines contain only a part of the disease germ<\/i><\/span>\u201d such as<\/i> the MMR vaccine which contains some inert measles virus. \u00a0 <\/span>Much of the American public remains unaware that frequently used synthetic materials such as mercury, aluminum, MSG, formaldehyde, polysorbate 80. and glyphosate are routinely inserted (among other ingredients) which RFK Jr identifies as neurotoxins, carcinogens or other toxins related to autoimmune disease. <\/span><\/p>\n

The U.S. was the first country in the world to be founded on the concept that each person has an inherent individual right to live their own life without government intrusion.\u00a0 <\/span>Those rights were enshrined in the Bill of Rights and the Fourteenth Amendment; and they remain a bedrock of\u00a0 <\/span>the American\u00a0 <\/span>system.\u00a0 T<\/span>he inherent God-given right exists for every American who deserves the choice\u00a0<\/span>to vaccinate or not.<\/p>\n

Colorado Governor Jared Polis has promised to sign SB 163 into law.<\/p>\n
